Interesting. If true, I'm a little worried A. that the release might be delayed on Sprint for the same reasons the G2 is delayed, and B. that although the hardware would support other carriers, the software might be altered to lock it to Sprint.

Is this enough to tide you over? Several more at http://vk.com/wall-53724450_650851 This seems to be a more final version of the hardware than the device in the French leak.

As for the phone, nothing surprising in the video. It looks pretty good, if a little stripped down. It doesn't look like HTC One build-quality (this is clearly going to be an all plastic affair), but the screen looks pretty awesome, buttons are where you want them, and the dual speakers on the bottom are a nice bump up from what Android phones have generally had in the past. Couldn't care less about the lack of an IR blaster and I have a real camera for anything more than a quick snapshot (which nearly every phone could take decently two years ago). As for the OS, it looks like KLP/KitKat will have some very solid improvements, if nothing humongous. A few you could see either in the most recent video or the TuttoAndroid pictures from a couple days ago: Google's New Launcher In Android 4.4 Is Called 'Google Experience' - Here Are Some Things We Are Expecting To See In It Location Settings Are Getting Revamped In Android 4.4 And Finally - A History Of Recent Location Requests Here Is The Long Overdue Makeover The 'Downloads' UI Will Get In Android 4.4 All But Confirmed - Google Hangouts 1.3 Screenshots Suggest SMS/MMS Integration; Video Sharing Capabilities Coming Too It also sounds like Google's continuing with its fight against fragmentation by implementing the changes in a way that will allow old phones to get them as well (either through Play Services or directly as apps from the Play store). Either way, it'll be nice to get them first on a Nexus device. Really hoping there are no surprises which keep this from being on Sprint and releasing fairly soon...

Headphone port is at the top.

Transparent status/notification bar? App Drawer is pretty different; lots of new logos. Other minor UI changes throughout. Google Now voice search seems to be more integrated - apparently you can say "OK Google" from the homescreen - possibly even more, like the Moto X. Hangouts appears to be integrating SMS (and earlier rumors indicated MMS). Location settings seems to give more info and possibly be more customizable. As for the phone itself... Screen seems improved over the Nexus 4 - the tipster says it's as good as the GS4 and HTC One. Two speakers. Solid image stabilization.

I do not see Tuesday happening as a release day. More likely to be an announcement day, but even that would surprise me. Also, the Verge has been uncharacteristically quiet regarding Nexus rumors for a couple weeks, which makes me think they're under an NDA.

Yea, I'm calling shenanigans on this one. First of all, it's an anonymously-sourced rumor with zero evidence backing it up. Second, as previously mentioned, we've already seen two, independent, solid sources indicating the battery will be 2300: The FCC filing and the log files. Very few to no phones have had multiple configurations with different battery sizes. Hope I'm wrong, but really don't think so.

A couple more data points on the battery: [PC Mag] [Geek.com]

Really? Good to know.

If sold directly by Sprint you'll be able to use Total Equipment Protection, whereas if it's sold directly via the Play Store you will not be able to get TEP, correct?

It exploded when you dropped it on its rear!?

**** yea. Gotta temper my excitement. Looks like there's good reason to doubt this rumor: At the same time... Now that's good news.

Yup, that's what I was referencing above as one of the two independent sources.

The "Motorola DVX" appears to be headed to a Sprint MVNO or Sprint itself, and I didn't see a discussion of it here. The FCC filing is currently down due to the government shutdown, but recent rumors pegged the phone for an October release on Republic Wireless. Any chance this device is tri-band? More details and pictures at Ars.

Not sure why people are doubting the battery size. We have two, independent, solid sources indicating the battery will be 2300: The FCC filing and the log files. I can think of zero phones which had multiple configurations with different battery sizes (except maybe the Droid Maxx line, and that's really a whole different device). So that's nearly set in stone. 2300 isn't the end of the world. As I already stated: Now whether those special tricks are used is unknown, and I'm not optimistic. BUT, the HTC One, with the same size battery, is a good guide. The Sense version got 4 hours, 48 minutes, "a decidedly average score," on the Verge's battery test. That score apparently equates to a full day's worth of normal to light use. But the Google Play version got a full hour longer on the same test. That's a 21% improvement just by getting rid of the bloat. That savings should carry over in a Nexus device. So even without LG's battery tricks on the G2, I would expect this battery to be at least average, if not a bit better. ETA: AnandTech also attributed the great battery performance in the G2 in large part to the Snapdragon 800, which will be in the Nexus 5, so if that's truly a battery saver, the Nexus 5 should surpass the HTC One's Snapdragon 600 battery usage.

New picture: The person who originally posted on MacRumors apparently said the display is "just 'Ok' and not as good as the Galaxy Note 3′s, but that it did have small bezels."

We didn't really know much about the camera and confirmation of the specs is nice. The rumors regarding "themes" and trusted bluetooth devices is interesting but not a huge deal. At this point the hardware is pretty much nailed down, aside from the various memory size and color permutations. Software is really all that's left to speculate about.

Bonus rumor: Google Authenticator will have some sort of trusted bluetooth device mode, which would be truly awesome. Think two-step authentication without having to manually type in a unique code every time. Or possibly no lock screen when near a trusted computer.

Here are your leaks/rumors of the day, most building off those earlier mentioned from MyCE: KitKat is likely to include "themes" of some sort which will, at the very least, change the colors of the notification tray. Miracast support is included and improved over past implementations. 8MP camera (unknown whether it's stabilized or not). 5-inch Full HD display, 442 ppi (potentially 4.97-inch) [Already pretty much knew this, but the confirmation is nice]. 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snadragon 800 [Also knew this]. 2GB RAM [Also knew this]. Geek.com is disappointed in the camera and battery capacity (when compared to the LG G2 the Nexus 5 is supposedly based off of) and speculates that keeping them slightly lower-end will allow the Nexus 5 to be priced around where the Nexus 4 was. But they obviously haven't seen real word performance from either, so take that with a chunk of salt. Sources: Geek.com, C|net, Droid-Life

More good news...

Yes Also note... FYI: They specifically call out rooting as a reason they can terminate. Also mentioned: not using your service for a long time.

Your contract defines what you may or may not do. I wouldn't go so far as to call someone a pig for taking advantage of a contract they struck with Sprint, a sophisticated party fully aware of the terms of the bargain and capable of monitoring usage. Just don't be surprised when Sprint exercises it's contractual right to manage traffic when you use your service in unusual and/or unanticipated ways.

Amen

Don't disagree, but that doesn't really explain why local police departments need these, and it doesn't explain why they've been buying them in recent years, long after the Patriot Act.

While I have no doubt that's mostly true, they're not spending $40 million on nothing. Clearly these do something they can't do for free.
